I mostly agree with the list, except arc raiders. Love the game, but its only mildly innovative honestly. You could name a dozen games that innovated more. I guess popularity can do alot of heavy lifting.
Genuinely curious… What are some games that had better innovation? I agree with your sentiment on arc, but I haven’t been paying attention to other games and what they’ve been doing.
From the finalists, I voted for mage arena, that game is cool af. Yelling fireball at 2 in the morning is great. Not for the neighbors tho.
I haven’t played blue prince but people keep telling me its amazing and innovative so based off sentiment I guess that probably should have won.
But based off personal playing experience i would say Peak, it really changed how I look at ruining friendships. Nothing is more innovative than force feeding a friend poison. /s
The category is ambiguous on what actually innovation is. Graphics? Mechanics? How much money spent making the game? Technically would be an innovation right? Its somewhat difficult to pin down so I do understand why people look at arc, but I disagree with choice personally.
